While I agree the kinect isn't for everybody, watching my nieces and nephew play their games with them is quite enjoyable.

Plus it tires them out, helps put them to bed early without the consist nagging about staying awake a bit longer . trust me that device is great by me .

Ken224012d ago

If that happens you easily just turn their crap off.Not that hard and send them off to bed.

Tapioca Cold4012d ago (Edited 4012d ago )

So you would like to see more Kinect? Right on witwicky343, and cl1983 may your wish be granted.

RuleofOne343 4012d ago

Hey I have kids if Xbox has something for them to enjoy , am going to be a dad and go get it . Side note Xbox is the prefered console in our house & supported.

@ken trying not to be a RICHARD like my dad,beside if you think about it how much fighting can an individual put up when tired.

I feel Microsoft and Sony are making a grave error by omitting 4k support output - as prices of display panels are always going down I expect every other family to be able to pick up a big 4k TV for about 1.8K in 2 years or less. Hence they will take a big hit because of this or have to release a revised version of the XBOX and PS4 which does support 4k.

With fibre infrastructure rapidly rolling out in developed nations I expect 4k video streaming services to be widely available in 3 years time from today. Even Australia's gonna be all wired up, whilst this XBOX and PS4 won't be able to output such video streams in 4k.

They pulled this off with 720p and not supporting 1080p to this day, but I am afraid this time, time won't be as forgiving. There has been a rapid shift towards high DPI displays on all devices, we already have >1080p phones and tablets and releasing a console that only outputs a max of 1080p in 2014 is nuts.

Edit: At people saying that 4k tv's are too expensive and wont be mainstream anytime soon - Seiki has already announced they are releasing a 50" 4K TV for $1500 in the next few months. 4k is going to come faster than 1080p did.

Edit 2: The PS4 will not do 4k output just input.

NegativeCreepWA4012d ago (Edited 4012d ago )

Yeah, because Blu rays don't look good enough as is, and so many games are already running at 60 fps while displaying 1080p already. (note sarcasm)

I say lets actually worry about running at those specs, before worrying about lowering frame rates trying to do 4k.

MonkeyNinja4012d ago

PS4 does support 4k output:

If the PS4 supported 4K res for games, either the games would look like @ss or the PS4 would cost a whole lot more to accommodate the price of the required video card.

Crazay4012d ago

who cares? the whole 500 people in North America who have the ability to run 4K? Big deal for the average consumer at this point in the game.

MonkeyNinja4012d ago

True, not many people own 4k TV. But what about in 4-5 yrs? Plus, Sony sells TVs. 4k TVs. So it makes sense for them to at least support 4k output.

GamersRulz4012d ago

PS4 will support 4K movies, what are you talking about?

hellvaguy4012d ago

Think he meant 4k games, not movies. But I mean, that's not going to happen this gen because only the latest desktops ($1500-2000+) can handle those resolutions for gaming.

Tapioca Cold4012d ago

I would like to see the rumours go away.

I would also like to see a the poor gaming journalists go away too.

A Bluray drive and specs to compete with the PS4.

NegativeCreepWA4012d ago

Sorry, I meant a eight track drive and specs to match the Wii U.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx3h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro11h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B9h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21839h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh8h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia8h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins9h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal8h ago

The first game was the best imo.

There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.

Juancho5112h ago

Hey! Gods suffer from obesity and diabetes too!

Blastoise12h ago

This is the dumbest article I've read in a long time.

Michiel198911h ago

No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.

Crows9011h ago

Exactly. Not even sure they're necessarily committing to body diversity either.

The designs look fine not stupid.

gerbintosh3h ago

Who haven't even played the game either

Inverno10h ago

The writer of the this article clearly doesn't know what a real god looks like and has never seen them /s

Tody_ZA10h ago

Thanks for bringing up a bunch of garbage thoughts that never crossed my mind when playing the first game because I was too busy playing the game to worry about the portrayal of the physical bodies of gods.

Foolish me, when I read the title I thought we were talking about game mechanics.

Piss off, honestly, with this asinine bottom of the barrel try-hard-to-be-relevant trash.
